It was the start of a long and painful goodbye in Brooklyn on Thursday, as crowds spilled out the door and around the block from a Marine Park funeral home to pay their respects to fallen firefighter Timothy Klein
, 30, died Jan. 2019, helping victims of a car crash on the Belt Parkway after he fell more than 50 feet off the Mill Basin overpass.
"Everything you hear about Tim Klein is, he was the best firefighter, the best son, the best brother, the kind of guy everyone relied on, leaves a hole in our hearts and his family," said Acting FDNY Commissioner Laura Kavanagh. "I know how happy he was to be in the FDNY in general," said friend and colleague Robert Kittelberger, who was overcome with emotion as he remembered the touching eulogy Klein gave just three years ago for Pollard.
The funeral for Klein is scheduled for Friday at 11 a.m. at his home parish in Queens, at Saint Francis de Sales Church in Belle Harbor.
